The Point of the Exercise

Every time I hear the horse industry moan about how business is bad and we need Casino’s to compete, all I have to see is a picture like the one above to know they are so full of horse sh*t.

The Kentucky Equine Education Project group representing the horse industry urged lawmakers at a House panel to say "Yes" to an eventual proposal allowing casinos in Kentucky as a way to help the breeding and racing industries.

Picture and story from the Herald-Leader:

Instead, we have horses going for millions of dollars, and we have to do better for the buyers of those horses than have them belly up to a vinyl-bumpered bar.....

Touch the leather handrails in the lounge and feel reins. Touch the sculpture and feel irons.

Drink the bourbon at the sleek granite bar and think Derby.

Ah, yes, the point of the exercise.
